The fuzzball proposal for black holes

K Skenderis, M Taylor - Physics Reports, 2008 - Elsevier
The fuzzball proposal states that associated with a black hole of entropy S, there are
expShorizon-free non-singular solutions that asymptotically look like the black hole but …

Towards integrability for

A Sfondrini - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the recent progress towards applying worldsheet integrability techniques to the
${\rm Ad}{{{\rm S}} _ {3}}/{\rm CF}{{{\rm T}} _ {2}} $ correspondence to find its all-loop S matrix …

A perturbative CFT dual for pure NS–NS AdS3 strings

L Eberhardt - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We construct a conformal field theory dual to string theory on AdS 3 with pure NS–NS flux. It
is given by a symmetric orbifold of a linear dilaton theory deformed by a marginal operator …

Type II string theory on and symmetric orbifolds

O Aharony, EY Urbach - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We discuss in detail the 1+ 1-dimensional superconformal field theory dual to type II string
theory on AdS 3× S 3× T 4, emphasizing the string theoretic aspects of this duality. For one …

A non-renormalization theorem for chiral primary 3-point functions

M Baggio, J De Boer, K Papadodimas - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract In this note we prove a non-renormalization theorem for the 3-point functions of 1/2
BPS primaries in the four-dimensional\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) SYM and chiral primaries in two …

String correlators on AdS3: three-point functions

A Dei, L Eberhardt - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We revisit the computation of string worldsheet correlators on Euclidean AdS 3 with
pure NS-NS background. We compute correlation functions with insertions of spectrally …

Stringy structure at the BPS bound

EJ Martinec, S Massai, D Turton - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We explore the stringy structure of 1/2-BPS bound states of NS fivebranes carrying
momentum or fundamental string charge, in the decoupling limits leading to little string …

Worldsheet computation of heavy-light correlators

D Bufalini, S Iguri, N Kovensky, D Turton - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We compute a large collection of string worldsheet correlators describing light
probes interacting with heavy black hole microstates. The heavy states consist of NS5 …

Diagrams for symmetric product orbifolds

A Pakman, L Rastelli, SS Razamat - Journal of High Energy …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a diagrammatic language for symmetric product orbifolds of two-dimensional
conformal field theories. Correlation functions of twist operators are written as sums of …

Radiation from the non-extremal fuzzball

BD Chowdhury, SD Mathur - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
The fuzzball proposal says that the information of the black hole state is distributed
throughout the interior of the horizon in a'quantum fuzz'. There are special microstates where …
